When one of France’s specialists in streaming devices joins forces with one of the world’s specialists in streaming solutions, the result is the DSAS.
In a silver or black chassis similar to that of the DSS 2 network transport (4 750 €), but with the third bar and the blue-purple logo identifiable to Audirvāna, Métronome releases a new streamer fully manageable by French streaming software.
We recently reported on Audirvāna’s interest in now running under Linux, with the possible developments of being able to be directly integrated into streaming devices, without needing a computer again to make use of the sharing application. The idea goes even further with Métronome’s DSAS, where Audirvāna is directly integrated on a Linux processor with 4 GB RAM to be the main application for network playback.
Thanks to this partnership, you no longer need an external processor or a computer to use the software, but only an iOS (Apple) or Android (Google) compatible smartphone or tablet to use the Audirvāna Remote App. Thanks to this, Métronome associate director Jean-Marie Clauzel announces that he is offering “a new versatile source” with a solution that he has “long appreciated for its features and sound quality ”.
A network transport and a server, the DSAS features a 2TB internal SSD drive that can be expanded to 4TB, but requires a USB connection to a DAC to convert the digital signal to analog. It operates via Ethernet and Wifi and is Chromecast compatible; its launch is scheduled for just after the Munich show, at a price of 5 990 € incl. VAT.
